An eigenform is a shape a transformation returns unchanged — its own image under its own operator. That is the standard here: build the small, exact thing that survives its own process. Software, and the typography around it.
Work
Six things, at various distances from done. Some ship today; some are still a shape being folded. Each has its own page.
Rust Python Functional Dark
A dark VS Code theme for Rust and Python — emphasis rationed to three ranks on a golden-ratio scale, tuned for deutan contrast.
Shipping · VS Code IIThe Twin Primes
A study that keeps circling the gap of two — computation, visualization, and the itch of a conjecture that won't close.
In progress IIIThe Fold
A no-options Markdown typesetter that emits vector-first PDF. The layout has already been argued over, so you don't have to.
Shipping · VS Code IVPDF-Fire
Putting PDFs under pressure — a fast path for generating and transforming documents without the usual ceremony.
Sketch VLinen
A document printer with the tooth of linen paper — physical output that respects the grain of the page.
Sketch VINighthawk
Something for the small hours. Details when it's ready to be seen in the light.
SketchThe standard
Everything here is built to the same conviction the typography holds: the craft is serious even when the tone isn't. Blocks are square-cornered on purpose. Gradients stay fourth-rank and nearly invisible. The work is meant to be used, not admired — the highest compliment is that you never noticed it was made carefully.
